Manager, Oregon Black Pioneers
Learn about early Black history in Oregon through the
stories of courageous pioneers who overcame the
odds as they reached for the dream of safety and
prosperity in Oregon.
This traveling exhibit features eight interpretive
panels highlighting just a few of the approximately
400 Black residents who came to Oregon from 1840
to 1870. It was created by Oregon Black Pioneers, an
African American historical organization that has
been preserving the history of Black Oregonians for
more than 30 years.
